That’s it, I’m convinced. Watching this year’s TdF, I had suspicions that GvA might be moonlighting as a TdF organizer. After seeing Stage 11, you can’t tell me he’s not.
200km, including climbing Mont Ventoux TWICE?!? Man, that’s just sick.
He has nothing on Thomas V. Lots of suffering faces from him. However, I would love to see a video that replicates the time AND effort that it takes to get up any of the sides of Mount Ventoux.
When I went up Ventoux, I met an Irish fellow cyclist, and he was just going up once, while his wife was doing the Cinglé de Ventoux. This is the ascent of Ventoux by all three routes, I.e. fro Bedoin, Malaucene, and Sault. This has to be done in one day
